SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,551, datea'January14, 1890.

- Application iiled June 22, 1889.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JEREMIAH PHILLEY, of Norwich, in the county ofChenango, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Milk-Pails; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and eXact descriptionthereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is aperspective view of my 1inproved pail complete and ready for use. Fig. 3is a like view of the parts of the same separated from each other, andFig. 3 is a vertical central section upon a line passing from front torear.

Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of thefigures. I

My invention comprises a milkpail and strainer combined, and is intendedto enable the milk to be relieved from all impurities as it passes intothe pail, and to permit of its being poured directly from such pail intothe receptacle in which it is to be set for cream 5 and to such end mysaid invention'consists in the construction and combination of parts,substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter specified. v

In the carrying of my invention into practice I employ a pail A of usualform andsize and provided with a bail'B, and at the front of such pailprovide a spout a, that has its upper end inclosed by means of a covera', which is hinged at its rear edge and is adapted to be turned upwardand rearward. Upon its inner side said spout is inclosed by means of awire-gauze strainer a2, so that nothing but a liquid can pass from thepail outward through the spout.

The upper open end of the pail A is I nclosed by means of a cover Bwhich at its edge rests upon the edge of said pail, and 1s provided witha flange b, that progects downward within the same. Two or morehookshaped lugs C and C are hinged upon the outer face of said pail, andwhen turned upward are adapted to engage with the edge `of said coverand lock the same closely down upon said pail, as shown in Figs; l and3, but when released from such engagement leave said cover free to beremoved.

Ata suitable point within the cover B, preferably near its rear edge, isprovided a round Serial No. 315,199| (No model.)

opening b', which yhas secured around its edge a flange b2, thateXtendsdownward, as shown. Said opening is adapted to receive a funnel D, whichconsists of a flaring body having attached to its lower end a straightnozzle d, that is adapted to loosely iit or to be soldered into theopening o', and has its lower end inclosed by means of a wire-gauzestrainer CZ.

A flange b3, which is secured to and projects upward from near the edgearound the front portion of the cover B, completes the device, theoperation and advantages of which are as follows, viz: Y

The .parts being assembled, as shown in Fig. 1, the pail is used formilking purposes, the streams of milk being directed into thel funnel,through which they pass downward into the pail. Should any hair or dirtfall into said funnel, it will be prevented from passing into said pail,and should there be any considerable accumulation of dirt, or should thestrainer become clogged by thick milk, such can be readily and quicklyremoved by detaching said funnel and pouring water through the same fromits small end. If from any cause the pail is overturned, but little, ifany, of the milk can escape before said pail can be restored to anupright position. After the pail is filled, as stated, its contents maybe discharged into another vessel through the spout, during whichoperation the milk is again strained and leaves the pail entirely freefrom separable impurities. Should any milk have spat-tered upon thecover, or should any dirt have lodged upon the same, neither will fallinto the receiving-vessel while the contents of the pail are beingdischarged, as

they will be caught and held by the iiange around. the front upper sideof said cover.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl. A milk-pail andmilk-strainer in which 'are combined a pail provided with adischargespout having its inner side inclosed by a strainer and itsupper end by a hinged lid, a cover that is adapted to inclose the upperend of the pail and to be secured in place thereon by means of hingedlocking-lugs, is provided with a flanged-opening, and around its frontedge is provided with an upwardly-projecting flange, and a funnel thatis adapted to fit into the opening in the cover and' has its lower' IOOend inclosed by means of astrainer, substau-` In testimony that I claimthe foregoing I tally as and for the purpose specified. have hereuntoset my hand this 30th day of 2. In a milk-pail which is provided with aDecember, ISST.
